I have a corroded "1st Medal of the RSFSR" that looks as if it was buried for quite some time. The front with the image of the worker is more pitted than the back with the big text, indicating that the medal was pressed against something while in the ground.
Since this medal is faked a lot, I assume that the corrosion authenticates the medal. I figure that the medal was buried during WWII before the Germans came to hide any signs of support for the Soviet regime. This theory makes the aged medal more interesting than a perfect one.
